So often women in the sciences don't get the credit they deserve. Vera C. Rubin discovered the existence of Dark Matter and an observatory named after her is nearly complete and already taking its first images. It should shed some light on parts of space so far away as to show us the way the universe looked much closer to the Big Bang.

It should be, but sadly the world doesn't see it like that.

Much to the chagrin of some male scientists, I'm sure. Good.

I'm thinking about getting a dog. Maybe I'll name her Vera, not as an insult.

What's the other one? Don't say battle ships and torpedoes.

Expands forever until all matter is too far apart to maintain cohesion and all the stars go out.
